Nope. When Paul spoke in tongues he said " NO MAN UNDERSTANDS" , but he speaks heavenly mysteries. Acts was a different manifestation. Todays christians are usually trying to do what Paul did, " pray in the Spirit'.
Christianity can never evolve out of the concept that Jesus is the way, truth, life , and no man comes to the father except through him.
Without that, there is no Christianity. IMO
God done it! yes sir, God done it alright!
I stand on the word! God is good, all the time , and all the time God is good! yep, yes sir, yep.
Hallelujah praise Jesus. Amen! Glory! Shout to the lord O ye Saints for his wonderful creation!

You said a mouth full. Some people love their religion more than life itself. If you challenge it, it is worse than if you talked about someones mama!
I know , because I have seen the reactions first hand. :run:
Thats easy. I will use a few examples from experience.
1. My Uncle's family is JW. His son, My cousin drowned and died at the age of 24. A few years latter, my uncle needed triple bypass heart surgery, which includes a blood transfusion. While my uncle laid in the hospital bed, JW's showed up...
JW's have the highest % of church attending members in the US. If you want to see how to take control of a human mind from top to bottom, study JW recruiting techniques and the phycological methods they use on you once you become a member and start attending their meetings. Of course the watch...
maybe I did not post that right, this person was already a hard core christian and tell me that I would never believe.
I was hard core for 15 years but broke away around 3 years ago. Since my break, I have heard some of the most hateful things like. " I have not lost my salvation yet, but I am...
This is why RF will never die! :angel2:
Everyone has the truth!
For real though, someone told me the other day, " if God appeared to me I still would reject him and make up and excuse in my mind that it wasn't him because I have already made up my mind and don't want to believe in him".
I...
Weird. I actually had a dream recently that one of my former bible thumper friends came to kill me because God told him if he sent me to heaven now before I blasphemed the Holy Ghost my soul would be saved.
I was pleading with him not to pull the trigger, but he told me " its for your own good"...
If there was a 100% way to know that there was no God's or life after death and If you found out this information today, would you immediately drop your current religion?
If so, how would your life be different?
Same question for non-believers. If you found out there was a God and was 100%...
I should have added, " in first world countries".
The numbers are there and growing every year.
In Third world countries , it will be a must slower process.
Hello Christina and welcome!
I think being an atheists openly is still a very brave concept. There is still a huge social stigma attached to it in most society's.
Its like your the boogie man! :eek:
Religion is dying, the internet is killing it.
Its a slow death and will take around 200 years or so to be completely lifeless.
It is just in the beginning stages of dying , but as more generations pass, the death will move more rapidly.
